Who I am
behind the eternity of these eyes.

My body aches
but there's no one
Who can stop all of the clocks.

Time is like a long strip
Containing many hits of acid.
Waiting to build you up or tear you down.

Before, there was magic
and feelings sexual, intoxicating
now there are burn holes, and desperate longing.

I wish for nothing but indifference
the electric shock of a hand on my shoulder
the whisper of winds filled with promise and fate.

I feel instead, like a dead leaf falling
let go, thrown down, somehow forgotten
and remembered when it is far too late. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 148 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Inevitable [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Stopping the Clocks

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
